"Uh oh"

This may seem kind of a trivial thing to report, but to our family, it is a pure miracle. Every time one of Isaac's toys fall to the ground (either by legitimate falling or by Isaac throwing them) we say "Uh oh". When things break or Isaac falls down we also say "Uh oh". Yesterday a piece from one of Isaac's little cars fell off, so I said "Uh oh". Amazingly, I heard an echo with the same intonation that I had used! Isaac said "Uh oh"! Ian and I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke, so we both kept saying it. There was Isaac...clear as a bell, repeating "uh oh"! He kept saying it for about 5 minutes. I know that "uh oh" isn't really a word, but people will know what it means if they hear it....so we are overjoyed.
